Among over 55s mostly. And remember, sexuality doesn't determine politics that much. There's a broad range of views. However 'gender criticals' are on the margins.


That depends a lot in the culture. Turkey, Thailand, Brazil and India have quite big populations.


Again, that depends on the country.

Quite small considering that it's relatively in its infancy and because some transition hastily in Thailand etc.


All that's been tried in developed countries however people just get on a plane.

In cheaper rosé wine in hot weather, it's fine. Wine snobs don't always like it, however a poorer quality wine isn't hurt by it and is perhaps even improved.

Some people put ice in dry sherry, though not me.

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]


When there are current serving politicians who've been photographed making fascist salutes, I think we can say they exist.

There are easier ways to get attention. Writing crabby contrarian and boring trash talk on an online forum for example.


Trans?

And the stance of some of them on r*SSia is not in their favour now.


And those are slowly declining in developed societies of course. Poland is no exception.

You mean how come?


And growing.


Generally get older and have long adult lives rather than getting younger and disappearing back up a fanny.

I don't know whether or not my relatives in Scotland would laugh or cry (ice in whisky!!!!!!!) though I might have a go of that instead of a martini.. Try anything once except incest, folk dancing and being sympathetic to r*SSia.

Not bad. Reminds me of something.

A (very) dry martini. Stirred not shaken. I think I'll mix one now.

News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]

It's a highly topical issue, especially with the emergence of a new strain of Covid.

News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]


Antibiotics and vaccination matter hugely to the world. Thy have saved million of lives and continue to do so.

Fortunately, here in Poland, vaccine take-up is high and people took Coronavirus seriously.

News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]


It doesn't matter to the world if you do or if you don't; those two great achievement speak for themselves.

News / Coronavirus in Poland - part 2 [599]


It's odd that some people would think they do.

Worth mentioning though that antibiotics and vaccines are together among the greatest medical achievements in history.

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]

Yes. Once a country has them they can become a burden. Aside from non-proliferation treaties, there are already three nuclear states within NATO and perhaps the best way forward is for Poland to capitalise in its strengths, one of which is its conventional army.

Off-Topic / Let's talk about shoes [334]


There's a brand of shirts called Double Two. They don't do it nowadays but got the name because they used to supply a second collar (and I think cuffs) with each shirt. I used to spend a lot of time near their factory and bought a lot from the factory shop. Mostly slight seconds but you couldn't tell. They're still going, still a family firm and have a good reputation as an employer.

I'd guess that's because the fabric is lighter usually

I'm sure every trans person in the whole wide world will heed your advice and instead of being trans, will change their whole lives back again on the basis of trash talk from a no-mark with a personality disorder in small-town America posting on an obscure internet forum

How does your trolling help the OP?

Travel / Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]

Of course.

Some men are trans and have chosen to retain a womb.

Can you post fewer trolling questions?

A question for you: how does your trolling help the OP?

Keep digging.

Or better still, keep silent.

Off-Topic / Let's talk about shoes [334]

Buy a pair from Primark, and you'll buy another as soon as the first hole appears. Buy decent ones, use a needle and thread if needed, and they'll last for decades.

I've got socks older than the Polish Third Republic (and white shirts that are older than the Prime Minister).

News / If Russia liberate Scotland, what would happen with Polish workers in Britain? [60]


There was a referendum and they chose to remain.


Given that Scotland is as much a part of Britain as England and Wales, how could they be 'freed' from their own influence?

Odd that you've chosen to post in one of the deranged Crow's nutty thread, especially since there's no particular issue in the news about the separatists at the moment except of course for the criminal investigations by the Scottish police which are still ongoing and haven't been in the media for a while.

r*SSia invading Britain?

They haven't and would be well advised not to try.

Life / Polish fences - complete anthology [74]


Trespass is generally a civil matter. There are also rights of way (many of them) through private land and those can't be fenced off.


Probably fictional.


I remember a farmer I used to know down near Garwolin complaining that hunters had put a wooden tower on his land and he could do nothing to stop them.

Language / When do I use certain characters? [33]

The thread title is a bit misleading since it would be better to say 'sound' than 'character'.

A one trick pony whose income from the debates with Robert Winston has dried up.


Who do not forbid gender reassignment. And if they did, that would be a matter for their adherents and not others.


I'm sure that every single trans person (or those who consider themselves 'gender critical') are hanging on your every crabby word.

History / Polish Army Day [82]


Many say that and there's some merit in it, however it's not a good time for sudden changes with r*SSia putting its boots on for a fight.

There you go again.


I'll take the word of those who know what they're talking about over the random verbal diarrhoea of a wiseguy retired factory worker with the online behaviour of a wiejski mądrala who says things like:

As an 'argument', that's perhaps the weakest and most pointlessly contrarian to appear in these pages in the last decade and a half.


That's one reason doctors, psychologists and lawyers spend so much time on the issue. Proper discussion not trash talk about 'aholes', 'freaks' and some of the bile you spit here.

Life / Polish fences - complete anthology [74]


Some certainly still do.

If you're not familiar with it, Google Wakefield Heath Common, sometimes called the "village of mansions". It wouldn't really suit Polish tastes however I've seen Poles there (and others) staring in wonderment.

Even now, it's common land with the eighteenth century mansions of millionaires rubbing shoulders with gypsies grazing their horses and hardly a fence or wall in sight.
